How do we build relationships that matter?
TOGETHERNESS
the key to unlocking a culture of healthy growth
Recent studies indicate that 94% of employees are more productive when they feel connected to their colleagues and are twice as likely to stay at their jobs.
So, how do you create and maintain an environment of authentic human connection in the workplace? How can leaders foster better connections between their people, customers, and other collaborative organizations?
The book features contributions from over 30 leading management thinkers; all centered on what it is to be human and connect with other humans in today’s society. It serves as a practical guide for leaders and managers to improve work and well-being and provides a human-centric approach to a fast-evolving and shifting nature of work.
‘In an increasingly fast-paced world, we must quickly get the freshest ideas into the hands of practicing managers.”
– Des Dearlove
